Nanometer sized Cu2O is synthesised by nucleation crystallization separation and redox methods, with NaBH4 as reducing agent. It takes several researching methods, such as XRD,SEM,EDS and UV-vis, etc, to study the structure, composition and spectral features of the product. The results show that, comparing with traditional methods, the Cu2O particles produced by nucleation crystallization separation and redox methods have following features: similar appearances, small particle size, and narrow distribution, etc. The photocatalytic experiment shows that, this kind of Cu2O has excellent photocatalytic activity over four nitrophenol.
